Stuart, I'm sure it would, I just thought I'd respond to the request of testing the CD under cygwin, I don't really need to make that work. I was just curious if it did work out of the box, which we can say it doesn't. > FWIW, the installer works on all my Linux machines. Why run Cygwin on > Windoze when you can just run Linux natively? I have no idea... I have Linux exclusively on at least 4 machines that I use for my personal computing needs, the cygwin thing for me it just a way to make my work laptop somewhat more usable... I can't avoid Windows completely at work, although I do most of my work on Solaris professionally... -- Daniel Nilsson
